Jerod Mayo leaves stadium in a sling, Aqib Talib has hip flexor injury


A fantastic finish and win, but one that came with many losses.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Patriots not only lost corner Aqib Talib to a hip injury, but they also lost Jerod Mayo to a shoulder injury. Mayo was seen leaving the stadium in a sling.


Even worse, Aqib Talib is said to have a hip flexor injury. Ray Rice suffered a hip flexor injury earlier in the year and had a two week timetable for recovery.


Already out Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly, the Patriots may have to go significant time without their two other biggest playmakers on defense.
